"Wow-Brother Shao, let's fly faster!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go faster!"

In the sky, the cheerful laughter of a man and a woman resounded through the clouds. A flying sword, carrying two people, shuttled quickly between the clouds, like a swimming fish. A young girl waved her arms with an excited smile on her face. Behind her, a man was hugging her tightly.

After all, Lin Xiaoran was only fifteen years old, and still had some childish nature. Although she could fly on her own, she just liked to fly with Feng Shao. This feeling was totally incomparable to flying on her own.

And Feng Shao would naturally satisfy her small request.

After entering the Golden Core Realm, Feng Shao's flying speed suddenly increased significantly. In just two or three hours, they flew a distance of seven hundred miles.

When she landed back on the ground, Lin Xiaoran's pretty face was flushed, still looking very excited. She jumped onto Feng Shao's back and shouted, "Brother Shao, let's fly like this in the future, okay?"

Feng Shao smiled and said, "Okay, from now on I will only take you and our child with me to fly."

"What nonsense are you talking about! I don't want to have a baby so early..." Lin Xiaoran was a little shy, but then asked: "Brother Shao, do you like a son or a daughter?"

"A daughter! She will be as cute and pretty as you, and will definitely be a heartthrob when she grows up."

"I want a son. My son will definitely be as handsome as Brother Shao!"

The two chatted as they walked along the mountain path. Unconsciously, they had extended the topic from having children to the issue of their children's education.

"By the way, Brother Shao, where exactly is this place?" Lin Xiaoran raised his head and looked around. "It doesn't look like there's anything special here, and there doesn't seem to be any sect nearby. But the scenery here is quite nice. Maybe we can consider building a sect here in the future."

Lin Xiaoran had always felt bad about Feng Shao being driven away by Taiwei Sect. She was very confident in Feng Shao, especially when Feng Shao easily took out 130,000 ancient books, she believed that Feng Shao could create a sect even by himself, and it would be a sect that was far more powerful than Taiwei Sect.

If Taiwei Sect loses Feng Shao, it will only be a loss for Taiwei Sect, and definitely not a loss for Feng Shao!

Feng Shao heard this and laughed, "Why do you want to create a sect? Can't you create something else?"

Lin Xiaoran laughed: "No matter what Brother Shao wants to do, Ran'er will always follow Brother Shao!"

Feng Shao rubbed her little head and said, "Of course! Even if you don't want to follow me, I will force you to follow me!"

As they were chatting and laughing, the two saw in the distance a small village located beside a narrow river.

This small village is very small, with only 17 or 18 households in total. At this time, the sun was setting, and it was time to eat. People returned home with hoes, talking and laughing, and the smoke from the kitchen was rising. From afar, the aroma of food reached Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran's noses.

"Brother Shao, what are they making? It smells so good!"

Lin Xiaoran sniffed and felt vaguely empty in his stomach.

Feng Shao smiled and said, "Let's go over and ask, then we'll know, right?"

When the two approached the village, the villagers had already seen them from afar. To these farmers who worked all day, Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran were wearing clothes that were too gorgeous, so they didn't dare to look at them for too long, as if looking at them too much would make their clothes dirty.

Feng Shao, however, walked up to a middle-aged man who looked quite steady and asked politely, "Excuse me, my sister and I are passing by here. It's getting dark, so we want to rest here. I wonder if you can help us?"

The middle-aged man took a look at Lin Xiaoran's fairy-like appearance, and then looked at their clothes that were obviously not something that ordinary people could afford. He looked a little hesitant and said, "It's not a big deal to give you a favor, but we only have some simple food here, and I'm afraid we'll neglect our guests."

Feng Shao said, "You are too polite, uncle. We are already very grateful if you can help us. How can we be picky?"

Actually, Feng Shao might be older than the other person. However, after years of practice, he looks like he is in his early twenties, so it doesn't seem strange to call him uncle.

The middle-aged man was quite hospitable, and he immediately called his wife and children out to warmly entertain Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran. Although Feng Shao said that Lin Xiaoran was his sister, anyone with a discerning eye could see what their relationship was. However, in this world, it was a common practice for lovers to call each other brother and sister, so no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

City people have their own way of living, and country people have their own way of living. There are no exquisite dishes like those in the city, but there is no lack of game, paired with their homemade seasonings, and the aroma after grilling is so appetizing that you can't help but whet your appetite.

People in remote villages live in poverty, with little oil or water in their daily diet, and even less salt. Even sugar is considered a luxury. Therefore, barbecued wild game has become their main dish for entertaining guests. Fortunately, although barbecue is simple to make, it is still delicious, so it is not considered to be neglected.

Lin Xiaoran opened his big, clear eyes and stared at the wild boar legs rolling on the flames without blinking, swallowing his saliva unconsciously.

Feng Shao took out a large bag from his storage ring, handed it to the middle-aged man, and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, uncle. These things are my thank you gift!"

"How can this be possible?" The middle-aged man hastily declined. "It's just some country food. Why should the guest be so polite?"

"Uncle, please don't refuse. We have come to your house without any gifts, which is not the proper way for us to be guests. Please accept it, uncle!"

"This..." The middle-aged man looked a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Feng Shao had no choice but to say, "Uncle, there is only some salt in this bag, it is not worth much, uncle, please don't refuse it!"

When he heard the word "salt", the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly lit up.

Actually, salt is not as worthless as Feng Shao said. In fact, unless you live in a place where salt is abundant, salt is a luxury for most people. Although adding a little salt can make food delicious, this little bit of salt is something that most people cannot afford.

The reasons for this are: first, the salt refining technology is very backward; second, the transportation conditions are poor; and third, the salt tax is high.

The life you take for granted is often what some people dream of.

To the middle-aged man, the salt that Feng Shao took out was only coarse salt, but it was much more valuable than silver. He happily took it and thanked him repeatedly, which made Lin Xiaoran curious and asked, "Uncle, it's just some salt, there's no need to be like this, right?"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Miss, you don't know, our place is remote after all, and we have to go to a big city a hundred miles away to buy everything. Miss may not think this salt is valuable, but for people like us, it is a rare good thing."

After listening to this, Lin Xiaoran still looked confused.

Feng Shao secretly sighed. After all, Lin Xiaoran grew up in the spotlight, so how could he really understand the sufferings of the people?

The middle-aged man rolled the wild boar leg and sprinkled a little salt on it. With the salt, the wild boar leg was even more fragrant. After each layer was cooked, the middle-aged man would cut off a layer of roast meat and then spread a layer of lard and seasoning on it. After a while, the middle-aged man cut out a full plate.

Sitting beside the table, besides Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran, there were also the middle-aged man's wife, son, and two daughters. Several people sat around the table and feasted on the freshly roasted wild boar leg.

The middle-aged man's son looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old, with a chubby face. He stared at Lin Xiaoran while eating. Lin Xiaoran couldn't help but ask, "Little brother, why do you always look at me?"

The young man blushed when Lin Xiaoran asked him this. He quickly turned his head to the side and said hesitantly, "I want to ask, my sister is so beautiful, is she a fairy from heaven?"

Lin Xiaoran couldn't help laughing because he was so interesting. She asked with a smile, "If I were really a fairy, what would you want to do?"

The young man said sheepishly, "I want to ask the fairy sister to pray for a good harvest in our village every year, so that no one will starve to death again!"

Lin Xiaoran couldn't help but be stunned.

She couldn't help but ask, "Do people starve to death in your village?"

The young man pursed his lips, looking depressed. “Two years ago, there was a drought and many people in the village starved to death. Xiangxiang from Uncle Huang’s family starved to death at that time.”

Lin Xiaoran was speechless for a moment.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "People like us who live in the countryside all rely on God for food. If God is in a good mood and the weather is good, we don't have to worry about food and drink. But if God is in a bad mood and it rains too much or too little, we will inevitably go hungry."

Lin Xiaoran had also experienced the feeling of hunger. At that time, she had never thought that food, which she had never cared about before, was so important. But in her cognition, it was still hard to believe that there were really people in this world who would starve to death.

They can obviously farm and hunt on their own, so why do people still starve to death?

Lin Xiaoran was stunned. For the first time, he realized that there were still many things he didn't understand about this world.

She subconsciously looked at Feng Shao, as if she had vaguely guessed the purpose of Feng Shao bringing her here.

From the beginning to the end, Feng Shao acted very calm, and seemed to be accustomed to what the boy said. He should have known that in this world, there are still many people who can't even afford salt or have enough food, right?

Feng Shao noticed that Lin Xiaoran was a little dazed, so he patted her hands and said, "This wild boar meat is something that people usually don't want to eat, so today they specially brought it out to treat us. We can't let such delicious food go to waste!"

Lin Xiaoran looked down at the wild boar meat in his hand and suddenly asked, "Brother Shao, do you think there will be a day when everyone in the world can have enough food to eat and everyone can buy what they want?"

"Maybe there will be such a day!" Feng Shao nodded, "But in order for that day to come true, someone has to do something first."

Lin Xiaoran looked at Feng Shao, thoughtfully.
